It started as a simple stop by the dealer to pick up some windshield cleaner and maybe a new pair of gloves. Turned into a conversation about this great looking '08 Road Glide standing in the corner. Sure, I'll swing a leg over, but I'm really not even looking at bikes.... then out came the pencils and calculators and all of a sudden I'm having this conversation on the cellphone with my forgiving and generous wife. "If you like it - get it!". I liked it.... so I got it!

I hope you got 'em to throw in the windshield cleaner and gloves in the deal
PJ, I loved the way you did the RKC--can't wait to see what you do to the RG---excellent choice --- the RG will be my next bike in 2 - 5 years

Great looking bike. I've had my road glide longer than any of the other Harley's I've owned. Just can't make myself trade it in (even for a new one). Can't stand the thought of starting all over again.
